CNN - GOP Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa on Thursday released an internal FBI document containing unverified allegations President Joe Biden was involved in an illegal foreign bribery scheme.
The FBI had previously allowed members of the House Oversight Committee to privately view – but not obtain – the unclassified FBI document, known as an FD-1023.
The 1023 form memorializes claims from an FBI informant, but it doesn’t provide proof that the allegations are true. Republicans, though, have seized on the unverified material as part of their broader investigation into the Bidens.
The FBI document says an informant described a 2016 meeting where Mykola Zlochevsky, the CEO of Ukrainian energy company Burisma, claimed that he had made two $5 million payments to “the Bidens,” though he didn’t specify who received the alleged bribes.
“It costs 5 (million) to pay one Biden, and 5 (million) to another Biden,” Zlochevsky told the FBI informant at a 2016 meeting in Vienna, according to the document.
The informant, whom the FBI has described as highly credible was “not able to provide any further opinion as the veracity” of the claims, according to the FBI document.
At the time of the informant’s meeting with Zlochevsky, Hunter Biden was on Burisma’s board, earning $50,000 a month. But there’s no evidence Joe Biden was involved in his son’s work for the Ukrainian energy company or ever received any payments.

A very serious question for the FBI? Why is it “unverified” and why wasn’t an immediate inquiry made to attempt to verify the information?
Oh, the FBI didn’t want to learn what the Biden family, NSA and CIA already knew?
Have to chuckle at the way these three CNN boobs write a headline.
....”unverified allegations”
Sorry, boobs. The allegations are now verified. Whether or not they are true has yet to be determined, but the allegations are verified.
EC
For that matter, they didn't use the word "unverified" or "unproven" or "alleged" anywhere in those stories, headline or otherwise.
True. But the fact they are talking about it shows they can’t avoid the subject of Hunter and Joe forever. They know that it just doesn’t look right hence the lies.
Since when are liberals concerned with unverified FBI documents and dossiers?
“Unverified” is the latest buzz-word they all, with one voice, use at the same time - like a gaint, obvious flock of moronic commumist parrots.
Notice that they are covering the story.
compare with them burying hunter’s laptop in 2020.
Also the weak characterization “unverified”. Not “totally false made up Putin disinformation.”
The bat signal has gone out from the Cathedral, that it is permitted, and even encouraged to carry negative stories about Biden corruption.
The CNN and other media are complicit in an attempt to hide what is obviously the worst case of Presidential malfeasance in the history of this nation. The problem with ABC, a Disney outlet, is obvious; the other MSM media should be ashamed, but nothing seems to shame them. The result is equally obvious. The media is not to be trusted now, nor should it be in the future until a change of ownership and the emergence of an honorable company occurs.
Unverified? What exactly is the $17 million dollars for?
It’s no surprise they state in their statement the “Hunter is not smart”. And that Hunter is “stupid and (Zlochevsky’s) dog is smarter.”
.
I guess this is over then.
Everyone got in their letters.
If these were documents regarding Trump, the very same three fabulist CNN clowns would be salivating and having organisms.
Yeah, I don’t think so.
I would think verified bank records to shell companies of the Bidens is verification.
“unverified”
Never used unverified in a Trump probe headline.
In short 60% for Lyin'Biden for influence. No other other product out there.
That's greedy by anyone's standards.
